It was an amazing experience. The pilot (Tom/Tommy) was friendly and took time to explain the process and was patient and supportive while I was flying. Enjoyed the flight and looking forward to flying again soon
Instructor was very knowledgeable and personable. Happy to answer any questions. He maintained a light, airy, no pun intended, mood throughout the flight.
